Me too, and I was disappointed that the second chapter was a PlayStation exclusive back then.

I would love to play this new incarnation if it does not get too repetitive and exploration is rewarding in some way.

You are perfectly right, so a little research brought up the following:

The Hebrew word chûg in Isaiah 40:22 often referred to three-dimensional celestial or vaulted forms rather than a flat circle, a usage also found in nearby cultures. Moreover, the Dead Sea Scrolls, especially the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaᵃ) dating from the second century BC, include the entire chapter 40 of Isaiah, confirming the stability of this wording over more than two millennia.

It is still a stretch, but not so big IMHO.

I know many will not like what I am going to say but still …

The Bible mentioned scientific facts long before they were discovered. For example, around 3,000 years ago, Job 26:7 said that God “hangs the earth on nothing,” describing the earth suspended in space—centuries before scientists understood this. Over 2,700 years ago, Isaiah 40:22 said that God “sits above the circle of the earth,” indicating its round shape, long before it was widely accepted.

Later, in the mid-19th century (around 1851–1852), the physicist Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) helped formulate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. As part of his theological reflections, he cited Psalm 111:2—“Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them”—to affirm that scientific inquiry only deepens reverence for a Creator.

There are few other similar examples like these in the Bible.

Is this loss?

Not a movie but a tv show: “one day” on Netflix, it may seem shallow in the beginning, but then it will tear you apart.

Formaggio

Last three or four years, all of our UI were done in Blazor server. Some are in production for more than two years.

I am not saying that there are no tradeoffs, but if you are already familiar with the dot net environment and c#, writing app in Blazor could be the right path, especially for backoffice apps.

I am just started fiddling with the latest version that automatically switch from server side to wasm without the user even noticing, and it is an awesome tech. There are still some tradeoffs, but they keep polishing the stack.

For context, I do write some react from time to time (outlooks addin) and razor pages, but I still prefer Blazor over these techs.

This is SO true!
